Creak! Creak! The worn cotton shoes stepped on the snowflakes on the dirt road, Du Cheng walked in the cold wind with a blue bag, his feet had almost recovered, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see that there was a problem.

Twenty years later, everything in the village has changed, and almost all the old people in the village are gone. There were only a few young daughters-in-law fetching water at the well at the entrance of the village, and white smoke was emitting from the well, and they were whispering something while they were turning their wheels, and from time to time they burst into hearty laughter.

Seeing Du Cheng, they were all stunned, who was the person with a scruffy beard and a haggard face?

A bold girl came over: "Who are you looking for?" "The voices are all wary.

"I'm from this village." Du Cheng lowered his head and strode away. I'm afraid she'll ask something else.

He didn't go home directly, he knew that there was no home anymore, his father and mother had died a long time ago, and all that was left was the dilapidated courtyard and house, maybe even the pigsty had been demolished, right? A wry smile appeared on his face.

Before walking to a house, Du Cheng stopped, those houses were dilapidated, and the snow in the yard was not cleared, and it seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.

His eyes were staring straight at him, and his eyes were full of tears. Before he became a soldier, he often came here, and he also took her to the forest behind to play, and did not send people home until the evening.

She helps her family with all the work, cooks and eats well, looks good, has a pair of big eyes, and if she marries her, she will be very happy.

It's a pity that he doesn't want to stay in the village, he wants to go to the city and live a life of a master.

Although I know that even if I stay, this girl is doing those jobs, and after finishing her own work, she will do it for his family. But he still didn't want to, he felt that he was a Dapeng bird, and Wang Qiaozhen, a village woman, was not worthy of her.

His heart was sour, and tears were about to fall.

"Oh, isn't this Du Cheng?" Someone behind him shouted.

Du Cheng looked back and saw that it was Liu Zhu from their village, who had not seen him all these years, but this guy was not old at all. Wearing an old sheepskin padded jacket, his complexion is very ruddy.

He smiled at Du Cheng and said, "It's really you, you're back?" ”

Du Cheng nodded awkwardly: "Yes." "It's not about returning home, it's about being released from prison after completing a sentence, which feels too embarrassing.

"You're looking for Qiaozhen?"

"No, passing by. I looked at her family as if they didn't live here anymore, were they still in the city? ”

"It's been a long time since I was here!" Liu Zhu gushed endlessly, as if he was talking about his family's affairs: "Her eldest brother's family went abroad, saying that he was going to accompany his children to school there. The second brother's family went to the provincial capital, and it is said that they lived in a big villa of the old family! As for Wang Qiaozhen, at first I heard that a big shopping mall was opened in the provincial capital, and then he went to the capital to open it, and now it is said that he went to open a big store in the country. There are tens of thousands of employees alone, what's the matter, haven't you seen the advertisement? What else is she on the rich list, and who in the village doesn't envy her now? ”

Du Cheng was in a trance for a while: "Really? Didn't she marry a doctor in the city? ”

"Gone. At first, the people in the village thought that she was dead, and they didn't look at her identity, and even wanted to climb the city, but who knows, it would be better for people to marry with children! The man is said to be in business, but he has money! And he is also doing something in the foreign publishing industry, and he is a cultural person. But I haven't seen them, and they haven't been back to the village. They all told us when their second child moved. Look at the lives of other people! Liu Zhu said that the foaming stars were splashing, and his face was envious, jealous and hateful.

Du Cheng's throat and eyes swelled up with bitterness.

Is this really Wang Qiaozhen's life, when did she become rich?

Thinking that when she took Yuan Fang home, Wang Qiaozhen sat there peeling buds for herself, thin and small, wearing clothes with patches, and she was so dirty, but she was this village girl, and now she is a rich man! As for himself, he only had more than 100 yuan left for him by his mother in his pocket.

Liu Shu said: "Come on, I won't tell you anymore, my grandson still wants to eat milk powder, I'll buy some, although I don't have money, but I also have both children and daughters, live your own little life, you also hurry up and find one, I'll go first!" He said and walked away quickly.

Liu Zhu eloped with Wang Lanhua and wanted to bully Sun Hong, although the original partner accepted him, but now he often has no penny on him, and he is called like a grandson, if he goes back late, he will probably be beaten again.

Du Cheng didn't know how he returned to his home, and kept thinking that if he hadn't divorced Wang Qiaozhen, would he be the one who would be the boss, and he could also live in a big villa and manage tens of thousands of people?

Surprisingly, the gate of his house was unlocked, and the snow in the yard was removed, and the chimney was still smoking.

My mother has been dead for many years. Did someone think there was no one here and took my house? Du Cheng ran in, ready to drive him away. Pushed open the door.

A woman's voice sounded inside: "Who is it?" ”

Du Cheng looked at the person in front of him in shock, it was Yuan Fang.

Yuan Fang was sentenced to several years for arson in a supermarket's warehouse last time.

After she was released from prison, she went to work again, but it never went well. She also wanted to find a man to live, but her appearance was decaying, she had no money and no culture, and those who could take a fancy to her were worse than her, so she simply broke off the idea of getting married. Later, her parents died, and the family's property was taken away by her brother, and no one gave her any support, so she returned to the village with a sickness.

Du Cheng's land has been planted by her for the past two years. She is a city girl, and she didn't know how to do it at first, but after a long time, she slowly understood. Now her skin is rough, her hands are full of calluses, and her body is much stronger, no different from half of the village women.

When the two saw each other's appearance, they were stunned for a long time, and then laughed together.

Yuan Fang said, "Have you eaten?" I just heated up the meal, let's eat together. ”

Du Cheng snorted and sat on the kang, he kept rushing the car when he came out, how could he have time to eat.

Although this house is small, it is quite clean and the kang is warm.

When Yuan Fang arrived in the kitchen, she first wiped her tears, then added firewood to the stove, added water to the cauldron, and put noodles on it. I beat four or five poached eggs into it in one go.

She took a big bowl of noodles and put it in front of Du Cheng: "Eat it while it's hot, you're hungry!" ”

Du Chengdao: "This is too extravagant. ”

"Now that the peasants' lives are better, there is enough rice and noodles to eat, so it's not a big deal. It's different from our time. Yuan Fang regretted it after saying this.

Du Cheng's face changed, yes, he has been locked up for all these years, and the world has long changed.

Yuan Fang sat in front of him, eating rice and stewed potatoes, and said in a low voice: "Last year's grain was sold for more than 10,000 yuan, this is your family's land, can I give you money according to the general land rental market?" I have nowhere to go now, I just want you to give me a chance to eat. ”

Du Cheng didn't speak, and sandwiched two poached eggs in the bowl for her.

Yuan Fang didn't eat, she put down the dishes and chopsticks directly and began to cry, at first she just sobbed and choked, and then she cried loudly.

"Du Cheng, I regret it so much, why don't you have a good life? Now it's like this! I deserve it! ”

She cried countless times and wet the quilt, and heard that her ex-husband had been promoted to deputy head of the regiment and remarried a university professor.

If she hadn't been caught by her husband with Du Cheng and Du Cheng, she would be the head of the regiment now.

If you can get along with Du Cheng, it's okay, but you still make a fuss like this, and you went to work in Wang Qiaozhen's supermarket in the provincial capital, and you were hurt by Yan Juan.

Looking back on this life, when she didn't go right, can she not regret it?

Du Cheng took her hand: "Yuan Fang, if you don't dislike me, let's just live like this, I'm willing to be a farmer." Let's live a good life in the future. ”

Yuan Fang didn't speak, and suddenly threw herself into Du Cheng's arms, crying constantly.

The two of them received the certificate silently and went together.

Most of the people in the village who were deceived at the beginning are old or have passed away, and the past has been forgotten, and no one has turned over the old accounts.

But Du Cheng himself was a little unhappy.

Because Yuan Fang's steamed bean buns are particularly delicious, they give a little to their family during the New Year's holidays.

Duan Qiuyue's family was deceived by tens of thousands of dollars, but Du Cheng didn't dare to go, and made up his mind to farm well and return the money in the future.

The two of them have never had children, and life has passed quite smoothly.
